Thus you have, in a large nutshell, the main news of 993 Fifth Avenue-across from the Museum. Here there are apartments, each occupying a whole floor, of fifteen or sixteen rooms, beautifully laid out, very formal, which are eminently suit- ed to people who would buy ordinarily but who have some reason for prefer- ring to pay ample rent instead. A few things, like the mantels, are a trifle less perfect than they would be if you purchased them yourself, but you prob- ably would buy them anyway. The windows are rather notable-metal casements which open out, and easily, and have horizontal sections across top and bottom to allow for conflicting tastes in ventilation. Two or three rooms have open fireplaces; the living- room (huge, with nice wide windows on the Park) always has, and also the main master chamber, which possesses, as well, a bath-dressing-room that is in no way a bagatelle. I t has big windows, closets, arches, niches, and the most civilized, Continental way of recessing all the familiar accessories into its cream-colored tile walls- leaving plenty of space to move about in.

T HE halls, foyers, kitchens, pan- tries, and domestic conveniences are ample. Kitchens are tiled to the ceiling, and floored with blue and white blocks. Vast Seeger refrigerators with Frigidaire innards are accessible both to the butler and the cook-peace- makers, as it were. Two big linen closets are not only amply shelved, but have built-in blanket drawers, a delicate at- tention. The main foyer in each apart- ment has a small dressing-room and coat closet to facilitate entertaining, and here the libraries are meant to be used 97 I The 1-1010 1-1 at r . x , ' ...
